Thank you for sharing such valuable information. I also want to suggest such a thing as minimizing initial costs – no matter how much finance you have to start a business. Many startups initially spend all their money investing in premises, expensive equipment, etc. And then find themselves unable to pay the bills. After all, we can’t be sure how things will go, and cutting costs at the beginning will help you stay afloat when income is usually not very large.
If your business requires equipment and you can’t start without it, consider renting equipment rather than purchasing it. This way, you can avoid large inial expenses and spending on maintenance. All the advantages of renting equipment are listed here: https://peakmedicalresources.com/rent-medical-equipment.

Hi Alex, I took my time to read very carefully this post. It was GREAT.

I have downloaded the first chapter of “Double Double” and hope to obtain my “Vivid Vision”.

Thanks and talk to you soon.

Many Startups get VC funding, Seed funding yet Why do startups fail even after substantial funding?Many founders fail not because of funding. Most of the business fail considering market research. Never ignore anything, any idea or any business process.No more how to become succesful at start up funding http://www.publicdebate.in/startups-fail-even-substantial-funding/

Thanks for the loaded article Alex. I agree with you that everyone’s “It” is different and hustling all the time to achieve your “It” is certainly no way to live. At least not sustainably. I also appreciate you sharing about defining and sharing your vision. This is something I need to get clarified. Thanks for the inspiration 🙂

Alex, I am a co-founder to a remote team and I always appreciate the fresh insight that you provide. Have you thought about assembling a group of founders who operate remote teams to exchange ideas with? Thank you again!

Really good points… Especially “Define success for yourself.. (and don’t trade off personal passions for that success)” – One of my best friends got offered 60M for his company, and he turned it down because he couldn’t really think of anything he liked to do other than work. Most of us run start ups with the dream of “doing whatever we want” only to find that when we realize that dream, we have no idea what we want to do.
